(75.) Page 444, P. sinuata : 



Eestrict range of P. sinuata to Texas and northeastern Mexico and add 

 the following forms : 



594rt. Pyrrhuloxia sinuata beckhami Ridgw. Arizona Pyrrhnloxia.' 



Differing from P. sinuata in decidedly browner and somewhat lighter tone 

 of the gray, and greater extent of dark red on the tail; adult male without 

 blackish suffusion or admixture in the lighter carmine-red of the capistrum. 

 and red of the crest much lighter; female with much less of a grayish tinge 

 across chest and along sides ; wing (c?) 3.60-3.90, tail 4.40-4.60, depth of bill 

 .50-.52. Hab. Southern Arizona and New Mexico and contiguous portion of 

 northern Mexico. 



5946. Pyrrhuloxia sinuata peninsulae Eidgw. St. Lucas Pyrrhuloxia.' 



Similar to P. s. beckhami in color, but decidedly smaller, with larger bill; 

 •wing (c?) 3.30-3.60, tail 3.80-4.15, depth of bill .52-.55. JIab. Southern Lower 

 California. 



(7G.) Page 453, Genus PIRANGA Vieillot: 



Add P. rubriceps Gray {Pyranga rubriceps Gray, Gen. B. ii. 364, pi. 89), 

 ■which is said to have been taken in CaHfornia (Dos Pueblos, Santa Barbara 

 County, cf. Walter E. Bryant, Auk, Jan. 1887, p. 78). This species belongs in 

 section a', although the wing is bicolored, the lesser and middle coverts being 

 pure gamboge-yellow, while the greater and primary- coverts, alula, and remigcs 

 are dull black, edged, more or less, with olive-greeu. The adult male has the 

 entire head and upper part of neck (sometimes whole neck and chest) bright 

 red, the back and scapulars olive-green changing to olive-yellow on rump and 

 upper tail-coverts, the tail olive-duskj- edged with olive-green, and the lower 

 parts rich yellow ; wing 3.60-3.75, tail 3.40-3.50. The adult female probably 

 lacks the red of the head and neck, although said to be "like the male, but the 

 scarlet color of the head only extending to the nape and throat" (Sclater, Cat. 

 B. Brit. Mus. xi. 1886, 192). The occurrence of this species in California can 

 only be considered as purely accidental, its habitat being Colombia and Ecuador, 

 entirely south of the Isthmus of Panama.
